Blue Bowl

I seem to have an incredible backlog of photos on my computer, so today I present you a mix of dishes which have all been served up in my favourite blue ceramic bowl. We've only got one, so it's a bit dicey when Andy is home, trying to decide who gets it. But we've recently acquired a nice big white bowl which holds about twice as much food as a normal bowl, so that's the one Andy usually eats from now...

First up, black-eyed pea dhal. This recipe is from Alternative Vegan and it is fantastic. Smoky and deliciously spiced, it makes me declare my love for black-eyed peas.

Here is a seitan-ginger beer stew which is a semi-original recipe. Served with spaetzle and more ginger beer, this is a light and zingy flavour combined with a hearty dish. Perfect for hungry summer dinners.

Look, I'll be honest about this -- I don't even remember what it is, or when we made it. It appears to be some kind of red lentil and chickpea dhal, but I think I see shredded coconut in there as well. Anyways, it was probably tasty. With brown rice, because that's how we roll.

This is a barley bowl, kind of like a rice bowl that a lot of veggie restaurants have on their menus. Sweet potato, carrot, and green peas plus a tomato-ey sauce to tie it all together.

This reminds me of how, when I lived in the US for a year in 2007, I thought about starting a food blog called "Adventures of a Little Green Bowl", because it was my only piece of kitchenware and I ate everything from it!

I don't think I ate anything as wholesome and yummy as your dishes, though. At the first meal, my head went "Smoky - yum!", then it was "ginger beer - novelty!", and then I gave up and succumbed to guilt because I haven't had anything as healthy as your food in weeks..
